Commonly used LED light strip installation methods

LED light strips are commonly used linear lighting products, and the installation methods are different for different spaces. Modeling light manufacturers have summarized several commonly used LED light strip installation methods.

1. Indoor installation: When LED light strips are used for interior decoration, they can be installed on the cabinet body. The ceiling chandelier in the living room can be installed with card slots or snaps. The installation method is determined according to the actual installation location. Indoor light strips are commonly used in: bookcases, entrances, shoe cabinets, wardrobes, cabinets, background walls, etc.

2. Outdoor installation: Outdoor installation needs to consider factors such as waterproof and sun protection. First, you have to choose a light strip with improved performance. For outdoor buildings, you can choose silicone neon strips to achieve waterproof, corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and UV resistance. The installation methods include slot installation and snap installation. For outdoor light strips used underwater, it is necessary to choose a light strip with an IP68 waterproof rating.

3. Power connection method: LED strips are usually low-voltage strips with 24v or 12v voltage, so a switching power supply is required. The size of the power supply is determined according to the power and connection length of the LED strip. If you don't want each LED light strip to be controlled by one power supply, you can purchase a relatively high-power switching power supply as the main power supply, and then connect the input power of all LED light strips in parallel to be powered by the main switching power supply. The advantage of this is that it can be controlled centrally, but the inconvenience is that the lighting effect and switch control of a single LED strip cannot be realized.

4. Controller connection method: Usually RGB magic strips and LED marquees need to use controllers to achieve color changes, and the control distance of each controller is different. Generally speaking, the control distance of the simple controller is 10-15 meters, while the control distance of the remote controller is 15-20 meters, and the control distance can be as far as 30 meters. If the connection distance of the LED light strip is long and the controller cannot control such a long light strip, a power amplifier needs to be used for branching. .

5. Large connection distance: LED lights have a large connection distance, which cannot be exceeded during installation. Generally, the longest connection distance of 3528 series light strips is 20 meters, and the longest connection distance of 5050 series light strips is 15 meters. If the long connection distance exceeds the e of the light strip, the light strip is prone to heat during use, which will affect the service life of the light strip. Therefore, when wiring, it must exceed the long connection distance of the light strip. Glamor
